March 20 (UPI) -- All 49 passengers aboard a plane that crashed at the airport in Wau, South Sudan, survived, according to local media reports.
The South Supreme Airlines plane, a Russian-made antonov AN-26, was traveling from Juba, the capital, and crashed on landing. Thick clouds of smoke billowed from the aircraft, and although witnesses said a number of passengers were killed, there were conflicting reports of casualties. A Juba radio station said at least nine people were pulled from the plane alive.
